Study Finds Slight Reduction in COPD Risk in Women Who Regularly Take Vitamin E Supplements May 17, 2010 -- Long-term, regular use of vitamin E supplements appears to reduce the risk of chronic obstructive lung disease or COPD in women, according to a new study. But men may not get the same benefit, according to another study. Both studies were presented this week at the American Thoracic Society international conference in New Orleans.

Nicotine gum and lozenges release nicotine slowly into the mouth. Nicotine patches stick to your skin and slowly release nicotine through the skin into your bloodstream. The nicotine inhaler has a holder that contains nicotine. The inhaler delivers a puff of nicotine vapor into your mouth and throat. You can buy nicotine gum, patches, and lozenges without a prescription. You do need a prescription to buy nicotine inhalers.

The Consumer Reports lab tested 12 brands commonly found in grocery and retail stores, along with two soy versions, as well as the nugget that started the whole craze: McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets. The results were published in the June 2010 issue of the magazine which..more |

Q. My 12-year-old daughter refuses to clean her room. She often argues with me, and I am not sure how to get her to clean her room. What can I do? A. Getting your children to clean their rooms can be a chore for parents. Parents might just rather do the chores themselves instead of exhaust their energy attempting to get their children to complete the task. However, chores teach children not only important skills, such as responsibility and cooperation, but also build self-esteem. As your child gets older, chores can teach them valuable lessons about life and build a good attitude toward work. Children not only require food an..more |

Study Shows Kids With Severe Asthma May Have Increased Risk of COPD as Adults May 17, 2010 -- Children who suffer from severe, persistent asthma are nearly 32 times more likely to develop chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) in adulthood, according to a study spanning nearly half a century. That conclusion is based on data from the Melbourne Asthma Study, which includes children born in 1957 who were recruited at age 7 and tracked until their 50th birthdays. At the time they were recruited, the children were placed into four groups: those who did not experience wheezing or asthma symptoms, those who experienced occasional ast..more |

Low-Fat Vegan Diet for Reversing Diabetes |
Sat, May 22,2010 |
|
I have often declared that there are many good eating strategies for diabetes reversal. All eating strategies have strengths and weaknesses. In this blog entry, I’ll share my thoughts about Dr. Neal Barnard’s program for reversing diabetes. I like Dr. Barnard’s approach. He is a physician who cares deeply about fighting diabetes and getting at the root causes. He recognizes the power of lifestyle change for reversing and preventing health problems, and he has been a leader in framing type 2 diabetes as a potentially “reversible” condition. He has published several books, inclu..more |
